He bought a new bike and it came w/ the Dos Equis group on it. Had the 28-42 crankset on it and he swapped the 28 for a 26 and it works fine. I'm sure in some lab somewhere the other combo shifts .5 seconds faster, but in the real world, who cares? </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=33#post-365 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 11:50:38 +0000 Mark M 365@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Test </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=33#post-206 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 16:29:56 +0000 JonC 206@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>robk07,<br /> yes, with the 11-36 cassette.</p> <p>thanks,<br /> jon@moots. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=33#post-205 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 15:39:21 +0000 Doc Moots 205@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>My 26" YBB has XX with 42/28 and 11-36 back. I spinout on the downhills at about 36 MPH. If I was running a 29er I'd run the 38/26 with the 11-36 back. Just a FYI, SRAM says you can't change out the small front ring on a XX without screwing up the magic shifting ratio, but I know someone who ran 42/26 front during Leadville this year and it worked fine. Also, for all that have suffered form SRAM's crappy bottom brackets, I just received a new gutter seal ceramic, and it's Campy smooth out of the box. It's a total redesign, and it looks similar to a Chris King BB. Time will tell how much mud it can take.</p> <p>Happy riding!</p> <p>Doc </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=33#post-203 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 13:23:43 +0000 robk07 203@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Jon,<br /> Is that with the 11-36 cassette? Thanks for the info. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=33#post-190 Fri, 08 Oct 2010 17:24:04 +0000 JonC 190@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Stay with the XX combo of 39 x 26 for the best clearance on the 29 Ybb....this also works in giving you a lower gear that 29's require in the steep stuff.</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=33#post-189 Fri, 08 Oct 2010 17:09:19 +0000 springsbiker 189@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I run a 2 x 9 with a Sram xx crank 26/39 using an xtr front D Sram XO rear D. 11/34 and Sram Twist shifts on a 26 " ybb. Works great. Run a similar setup on a nonmoots 29er hard tail and also really like it. Old guy 60+ riding Colorado Trails. Gearing seems fine. Really like the 156 q factor cranks on both. Seems to be easier on the knees and I feel like I can generate more power. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=33#post-166 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 01:45:58 +0000 gearguywb 166@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>You don't have the gearing that a triple would give (or larger outer ting) but on a 29er with 34/11 gearing, you would need some pretty buff downhill to run out of gears (for me anyway!) </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=33#post-162 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 22:46:11 +0000 egordon 162@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>34/22 or 32/22 Basically pull the big ring off a triple.. Most of the new doubles are all 38/26 or 42/28.. If you want the benefits for climbing go small combo.. You will likely run out of gears on the downhills though.. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=33#post-155 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 05:31:46 +0000 robk07 155@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Hey thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind when I want to make the change. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=33#post-147 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 09:53:30 +0000 gearguywb 147@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I ran a 22/34 up front with a 11/34 in back. Loved it. Their is very little clearance with the 34 on the front chainstay but it worked fine. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=33#post-146 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 06:06:18 +0000 robk07 146@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Has anyone experimented with a 2x9 set up on a YBB 29er? What ratios do you find works the best? I have very steep mountains where I live. Any thoughts? Thanks. </p>
